I love buying books. My bookshelf's getting full so I may need to buy a new bookshelf.


I want nothing less than at least one room in my residence being so full of books it can justifiably be called a library.

I bet the cricket finals were fixed, it was the shittiest end to a game in any sport this year. England won based on how many four shots they got smh.

I've got it recorded but not been able to watch it yet and I haven't seen the highlights. Is it that bad?

First time in ICC history, it went into Super Over, then it tied again. They decided England beat NZ because they got more four shots. So yeah, literally the shittiest finals ever.

Wow. Just wow. I already wasn't too invested this World Cup with Zimbabwe having failed to qualify so I'll just skip watching the match.

I was never a big cricket guy, as it was barely followed here in Iceland, but I’ve kinda jumped on the bandwagon as cricket is starting to grow in popularity quite fast here, and pretty soon, I was hooked. This was the 2nd World Cup I followed thoroughly, though.

I don't know why I think it's weird that Iceland is getting into Cricket. I'm used to only the countries of the former Empire being fanatically into it :p
